Angela Reid had already recovered and had gotten up from the hospital bed. “I’m really thankful,” she said, turning her head and looking at Baron Stuart, who was waiting by the door. “And to you too, Baron Stuart.”
Baron Stuart remained expressionless and didn’t respond to Angela’s words.
Emily Walker laughed, “It’s alright. Even if it were someone else, I would’ve done the same.”
Emily didn’t want her kindness to linger on someone’s mind, so she explained her actions.
Angela smiled slightly and nodded.
She actually wanted to chat more with the girl, but she never got the chance.
“Let me treat you all to a meal as a thank you for saving me twice,” Angela offered. She hadn’t had the opportunity to thank her properly the first time she saved her.
Hearing this, Emily laughed, “We already ate lunch.”
“Is that so?” Angela sounded disappointed but quickly added, “Then, let me treat you to afternoon tea.”
Seeing Angela’s persistence, Emily thought that maybe she didn’t want to owe anyone anything, and that’s why she wanted to repay the favor.
If this would make her feel better, then why not have a cup of afternoon tea.
“Are you sure you’re feeling okay?” Emily asked Angela, concerned about her health.
Seeing that Emily was about to accept her invitation, Angela’s face lit up with joy. “I’m fine. It’s just an old ailment. I’ll be fine after some rest.”
Emily smiled and looked at the man beside her. At this time, Baron Stuart’s expression was obviously impatient.
The group arrived at a cafeteria. Baron Stuart sat to the side, appearing somewhat uncomfortable. He thought he could have afternoon tea alone with her, so why did Angela have to tag along?
Baron Stuart took a sip of his coffee and shifted his gaze to the street outside the window.
He was feeling quite stuffy – why did he have to sit here and listen to two women chat?
Noticing his impatience, Angela seemed slightly concerned. “Baron Stuart.”
After hearing Angela’s voice, he shifted his gaze back and looked at her with his deep pupils, not responding, but waiting for her to continue talking.
Angela smiled and was about to say something when she unintentionally noticed the mandarin duck pendant hanging at Baron Stuart’s chest, causing her expression to tense up.
Baron Stuart clearly noticed the sudden change in her expression, but he didn’t understand the reason for it.
Angela’s hands resting on her lap began to tremble slightly. It took her half a moment to calm her emotions and finally said, “Your pendant is quite unique and seems quite rare.”
Hearing this, Baron Stuart glanced at the mandarin duck pendant on his chest. He didn’t answer, but stared at her intently with a creased brow.
The atmosphere became slightly tense. Emily, sitting nearby, didn’t notice Angela’s sudden change in expression, but thought that this man was too cold.
Even if he were the most self-centered, Angela was still an elder, did he really have to be so cold towards her?
Not to mention, she was once his mother-in-law, right?
With Baron Stuart not speaking, Emily had to take over the conversation. “Many people have said the same thing.”
Back when she wore the pendant, many people said the same thing. In her eyes, the mandarin duck pendant was one-of-a-kind because she never saw another one since she started wearing it as a child.
Angela hesitated a bit after hearing Emily’s words and cautiously asked, “Miss Carter, could it be that the pendant is yours?”
